I don't know why every talks about the "savings" if health care.

No highly paid tech employee is paying 10s of thousands of dollars for Healthcare.

The employer is the one who pays that, and the Employee is probably paying close to nothing.

Well that's a myth. If you are on an HSA you can be screwed over in one big event. Likewise with deductibles and premiums for a family on other plans you can see health care costs at $10k easily. So you can't say that no highly paid tech employee is pay 10s of thousands b/c I know a few that are.

When there was holes in coverage, I easily paid 10k in a year without major events. I switched to just paying a flat rate for the most coverage, so I pay up front. I think I pay what, 400 a month for 85% coverage. I'm paying quite a bit of that 10k up front, and if anything happens it's mostly covered.

Healthcare is a disaster in the US.
